Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh watches from the bench against the Cleveland Browns in the first half of a preseason NFL football game at Ford Field in Detroit, Saturday, Aug. 9, 2014.

The Jaguars offensive line has already faced one dominant defensive tackle in Tampa Bay's Gerald McCoy this preseason. On Friday, they'll face another.

With the center and right guard position still in flux, the Jaguars will have to block Detroit defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh when they travel to face the Lions. At least, for probably 20-25 snaps. The 6-foot-4, 307-pound Suh played 24 snaps in Detroit's second preseason game against Oakland.

"Every third preseason game is good for that reason to see where you're at," Jaguars left guard Zane Beadles said. "The Lions shave some good players up front. It will be a good challenge for us and we're excited about it."

Jaguars rookie right guard Brandon Linder, a third-round pick, could see a significant amount of time against Suh. Entering his fifth season, Suh has recorded 27.5 sacks in his career.

"I've been watching him since he came into the league," Linder said. "He's a great player with incredible technique. It'll be a great opportunity to go up against him."

Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said such a challenge will help the Jaguars. He also said Detroit's system is different than Tampa Bay and Chicago's and will test the Jaguars in new ways.

"That's really good," Bradley said. "Some of their schemes that they do, we haven't seen the first two preseason games – some of their coverage principles, how they line up their front."
